Tales of Pirates: Brand New Marriage System Soon Open

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

In the spotlight right now is the highly expected Marriage System in Tales of Pirates (http://top.igg.com). This brand new system has been much talked and is finally to be launched within next week! Yes, from now TOP players may get married in game and so enjoy special spouse functions designed only for couples. Worth noting is that included in the newest update, many improvements are actually based on players’ own ideas and suggestions. Now let’s take a quick glance at the new Wedding Ceremony IGG has brought to their players.

Following marriage traditions in most western cultures, TOP Marriage System features a romantic wedding ceremony in the luxurious church, as well as celebrations with fireworks and wedding gifts. As what people do in real life, o get married in game also require certain procedures. After whatever it takes to courtship and proposal, players in love must register, draw their wedding certificate and then hold the wedding ceremony.

First of all, lovers should team up and find the Priest (NPC) at the church, then apply to marry. Only those who wear the Lovers’ Rings and have enough marriage funds will receive approval. When the Priest has blessed the union, the system will announce the players’ wedding ceremony to everyone in game. The Bride and Groom’s friends can attend the wedding ceremony, and appreciate the Bride and Groom’s elegant wedding dresses. The new couple will then have their Lovers’ Rings bound by the Priest, which will activate the Wild Dragon Chase Function exclusively on the new couple. There are many other lovely wedding items for the celebration, including Fireworks, balloons, and I LOVE U heart shapes, etc. At last, the system will release the marriage notice signal the end of the ceremony.

The church can hold only one wedding ceremony at one time. For those players planning to take the plunge, please remember that there is only one church in TOP but lots of couples looking to exchange vows. To reserve the church for use in your wedding, you should visit the TOP auction and bid for the Church Use Right. The auction winners are eligible to hold their wedding ceremony at a designated time and be awarded with wedding invitations. Those that lose out in the bidding will have to wait for another bid.

Zu Online: Bead Fairy PvP Guide

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Epic battles occur all the time in the Zu Online ( http://zu.igg.com/) world. Most adventurers would rather fight for glory even at the cost of their life rather than be labeled a coward. Bead Fairies are no exception. Even though Bead Fairies are regarded as a support class, they can still be developed into deadly PVP adversaries on the battlefield. Now, let’s talk about Bead Fairy’s 1v1 PvP tips. First, we will assume that both sides are almost the same level, and are equipped with almost the same equipment and pets.

Bead Fairy vs. Bead Fairy
When fighting another Bead Fairy, they should utilize their healing spells properly. I suggest that Bead Fairy cast their Healing Wave spell as soon as combat begins. This ensures the beneficial effects brought by the Healing Wave spell can work during combat. The other 2 healing spells-Lesser Healing and Greater Healing should be used properly according to what happens in battle.

Bead Fairy vs. Summoner
While fighting, a Bead Fairy should first focus their attacks on the Summoner to drive him back and then cast Thunder Maul and Thunder-calling spells as soon as possible to attack the Ti-tsang. Then, the Ti-tsang will be killed easily. After that, the Bead Fairy has to heal herself first and then attack the Summoner again. In addition, whilst fighting a Sumoner, the Bead Fairy had better be equipped with a mirror trinket.

Bead Fairy vs. Sun Warrior
Sun Warriors are melee experts who want to get in close and go hand to hand. So, when encountering a hostile Sun Warrior, the Bead Fairy must first reduce their movement, and then quickly cast ranged spells such as Ice Curtain, Bigger Ice Curtain and Thunder-calling. When the Sun Warrior has low health, the Bead Fairy can use Thunder Strike, Thunder Bash or Thunder Maul spells to give him a deadly blow.

Bead Fairy vs. Moonmaiden
Moonmaidens have a high chance of striking critically, but the Bead Fairies’ Epic equipment should be able to resist these critical strikes, which makes Moonmaidens a bit weak for Bead Fairies. Cast high damage spells as soon as possible to attack.

Bead Fairy vs. Swordsman
Swordsman is good at dealing high damage quickly but their defense is often lacking. When fighting against a Swordsman, Bead Fairy must first cast Thunder Strike, Thunder Bash or Thunder Maul spells, and then cast Ice Curtain, Bigger Ice Curtain or Thunder-calling spells. During combat, Bead Fairy should always take note of their health and prepare for healing at anytime because they may receive a high damage blow at any time. Also, the Swordsman’s Blow spell has a very long attack range and it is almost impossible to get out of their attack range. The key is finishing the Swordsmen off quickly.

Even though Bead Fairies can be good damage dealers, they cannot kill their opponents every time, especially if they attempt to escape. After all, Bead Fairies do not guarantee a 100% chance to reduce the opponent’s movement. As a result, when the Bead Fairy has an advantage, she must try her best to slay the enemy as quickly as possible.

Angels Online: Jungle Maps Overview

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

The Angels Online team (http://ao.igg.com/main.php) is getting ready to release their new expansion, House Party, for all their players to enjoy. This new expansion brings players 16 brand new jungle and desert maps to explore. Today, the Angels Online team is going to give a brief introduction about the jungle maps.

There is a vast expanse of woods in the south of Eden where the vegetation is lush and the animals are playful. A winding stream flows through the woods and nurtures all the life, including the towering trees, happy squirrels and even the floating butterflies.

River Valley
The crisscrossing rivers quietly run through the valley and the gentle breeze blows all day. Even the haze covering the mountain seems not to be shrouding it, but caressing it in a loving embrace.

Secret Den
A babbling brook nurtured the flourishing forest and abundant animals and plants that can be found there. There are countless dens in which fierce monsters or lovely squirrels can be found.

Waterfall Camp
The huge drop here creates a series of majestic waterfalls for players to marvel at. As a symbol of the lush jungle maps, it is really popular with players.

Noisy Rain Forest
The bushy forest covers the whole map and the humidity offers the plants here the chance to flourish like no where else.

Ancient Glide River
If you come here for the first time, you may end up lost because of the complicated terrain. The mountain road twists and turns, stretching endlessly, just like a colorful rainbow.

Half-beast Hamlet
Orangutans occupy the whole map. They are proud and fierce and have no fear of Angels. Please be careful when you pass through this map.

Clouding Forest
Although it is a typical tropical forest, it is totally different from the Noisy Rain Forest map. The forest is older and the ancient trees and dense vegetation scare everyone who ventures in.

Giant Wooden Stairs
The giant stumps form a series of distinct stairs. Count the growth rings on them to find out how old the trees were!

Freesky Online: The New Continent Overview
In Freesky Online (http://fo.igg.com), the Erl Continent is transforming into a new Continent. The New Continent’s landmass is less than one-third of the size of Erl Continent. Even though it’s sad, Erl is dying away and won’t be seen again we must remember that with change comes opportunity. The New World has experienced numerous changes so far and there are many more to come in the landscape of the sacred empire Noah.

Headed by the Diamond Plains, the other forces, which balance the power in the New Continent, are scattered all around mainland. Through them it is easy to find out about the fighting between the different forces. But the focus of all of this change is the development of the New World. The new continent brings with it a whole new world to explore; divided into five regions according to geography and natural conditions:

Northwest of the continent – The Moon Corner
Tranquility is the main theme of the Moon Corner. With the Old Dynasty gone, the ancient city stands peacefully bathed in the moonlight. The Moon Corner is the coldest region in the New Continent with its northern most island permanently covered by snow. However, the howling gales and the sub zero temperatures have never stopped those who want to escape all of the conflicts from coming here.

Northeast of the continent, Forsaken City
The most desolate place in the continent is in the northeast — the Forsaken City. It has no resources to offer; except for the broken ship moulds and the Shadow Church headquarters of The New World. There is nothing but dank air and oppression hanging over the place. There aren’t even any creatures. However, some believe that there once was an ancient civilization that called it home.

Central Land – Sun Plain
The hot climate, and limited airflow has the tendency to send people here slightly crazy. The Sun Plain is a tough unforgiving place. It is not well populated and is mostly filled with deserts, minefields, mines and prisons.
Southwest of the continent – Diamond Plain
The “Diamond Plain” has the most crystals anywhere in the continent and so it is a very important asset for the empire. It may not be as full of resources as Paradise Island, but it is still a luxurious place. In addition to the empire capital, Victoria Town, and the Knight’s Palace many fabulous loyal mansions are also located here.

Southeast of the continent – Paradise Island
To the southeast of the New Continent is a small idyllic island. It has a very agreeable climate and marvelous scenery. Many creatures have made it their home. The Chain Forests, the empire’s Culture Center, the federal defensive city, Headstand City and the Magic Palace are all located there. So it is definitely worthy of the name “Paradise Island.”

NDOORS Unveils New Titan Server for Atlantica Online Enabling Cross-Server PvP Battles

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Atlantians Compete in Grand Championship Tournaments Between Servers

NDOORS Interactive, creator of the strategic turn-based MMORPGAtlantica Online, today announced that the Titan Server, Atlantica’s first cross-server PvP battle area, is now open along with a few other updates. The independent game server will enable interaction between all players from all Atlantica servers, creating the first true test of who is the best of the best. Players can now board a designated Titan ship and journey to and from the Titan Server to access new content, chat with other players, and compete against each other in massive PvP tournaments.

Later this year, the Titan cross-server will feature an entirely new continent, unlike any current game location, where players will have the chance to compete against each other for control over regions in this new and unexplored territory. Before the Titan Server, players could only communicate with users on their same server, but more updates coming later this year will allow Atlantians to interact regardless of their server, enabling players to meet more friends (and enemies) in Atlantica Online.

“The developers wanted to create an all-inclusive server that would give users from the separate servers a chance to finally meet and battle against one another, to determine who the best of the best really is,” said Peter Kang, NDOORS Interactive, CEO. “The Titan Server encourages additional community interaction and player participation, and will continue to do so as new features are added in the future.”

Additionally, the Titan Server will offer a “Grand Championship Tournament” where players can battle it out for glorious rewards, beginning each Sunday at 3am and 3pm PDT. Players will earn Gold Coins just for participating – more if they are the winner of the first battle, and participants who win more than one battle will receive EXP for their main character and mercenaries. The top 30 players will receive 4 Platinum Coins, Observation Rewards and 200 Fame/Battle points, but the overall winner of this tournament will reign supreme, receiving the Barbarian Lord’s Black Tiger, Platinum Coins, Observation Rewards and 1,000 Fame/Battle Points. The Grand Championship Tournament winners will be the very best of the best, earning rewards and bragging rights galore.

Upon traveling to the Titan Server, initials of the players’ original server will be added to their character names to prevent any conflicts. Currently, only basic user information will be copied over to the Titan Server, but in the coming updates all player details, including communities, friends and guild members will be available on the Titan Server. Cross-server trade, chat and whisper features will also be implemented in the near future.

Recognized as one of the best MMORPGs of 2008, Atlantica Online has received critical acclaim for its quality, accessibility, and entertainment value. The Titan Server is only one of many exciting content updates scheduled for Atlantica on April 21, 2009. With new massive features already in development, the implementation of the Titan Server promises exciting things to the world of Atlantis. Preparation for in-game events is already underway, so players should check back often to participate in the cross-server excitement.
